Muss und kann die Islamwissenschaft dem Anspruch gerecht werden, auf jede Frage zum Islam und den Muslimen eine passende Antwort zu haben? Verstärkt nicht die Islamwissenschaft eher in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit verbreitete (Vor-)Urteile, als dass sie einen aufklärerischen und erklärenden Beitrag leisten könnte? Ist es der Islamwissenschaft überhaupt gelungen, sich von den Paradigmen des Orientalismus des 19. Jahrhunderts zu befreien? Der Sammelband zeigt ein ehemaliges »Orchideenfach«, das sich mit großen Erwartungen von Politik und Öffentlichkeit konfrontiert sieht und widerstreitende Antworten auf diese Herausforderung gibt. »Der Sammelband fasziniert durch die Vielfalt der interdisziplinären und kontroversen Positionen.« Jos Schnurer, www.socialnet.de, 17.05.2008 »[Das macht] es spannend: eine interne Debatte, mit einem zumindest teilweise ›jungen‹ Ansatz.« Gudrun Harrer, Der Standard, 05.07.2008 »Insgesamt gesehen bietet der zu besprechende Sammelband [...] eine Reihe [...] hochinteressanter und sehr anregender Beiträge.« Stephan Conermann, www.sehepunkte.de, 1/9 (2009) Besprochen in: Islamische Zeitung, 11 (2008), Kathrin Klausing

Conspiracy Theories in the United States and the Middle East is the first book to approach conspiracy theorizing from a decidedly comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Whereas previous studies have engaged with conspiracy theories within national frameworks only, this collection of essays draws attention to the fact that conspiracist visions are transnational narratives that travel between and connect different cultures. It focuses on the United States and the Middle East because these two regions of the world are entangled in manifold ways and conspiracy theories are currently extremely prominent in both. The contributors to the volume are scholars of Middle Eastern Studies, Anthropology, History, Political Science, Cultural Studies, and American Studies, who approach the subject from a variety of different theories and methodologies. However, all of them share the fundamental assumption that conspiracy theories must not be dismissed out of hand or ridiculed. Usually wrong and frequently dangerous, they are nevertheless articulations of and distorted responses to needs and anxieties that must be taken seriously. Focusing on individual case studies and displaying a high sensitivity for local conditions and the cultural environment, the essays offer a nuanced image of the workings of conspiracy theories in the United States and the Middle East.

A comprehensive, readable history of the Republic of Turkey that gives equal weight to all periods in the first century of the Republic of Turkey.The republican order of Turkey seems not to have changed much since its foundation in 1923, but there were dramatic transformations: From Atatürk's modernization dictatorship in the 1920s and 1930s, over the massive migration into the cities and the military coups in the second half of the twentieth century, up to Recep Tayyip Erdoğans electoral autocracy since the 2010s. This book makes us understand Turkey's historical trajectory in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the fate of its various communities and ethnic groups-in particular Alevis and Kurds-and argues that a particular trait of Turkish political culture is its constant fluctuation between confidence and contention, grandeur and grievance.
